Hello Stefan, thanks for your answer. So I made a new logbook, without entries. I generated, as you, two new entries and I discover that this problem
come out when in the URL the command for the sorting follow the command of the display mode. So for example the following URL give me the issue:

Hi Stefano.

This may or may not have anything to do with your specific problem but I notice you have the single word "date" as part of your
attribute name and Date is actually a reserved word in Elog. Although your attribute is not exclusively called "date" I have found that

Hello Alan,

I tried with a new logbook with an attribute without "date" name, but unfortunately I got the same error. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Still no luck. Tried your URL and still works fine for me:

Ok I found it!

Was tricky. In my development environment (XCode) it worked fine. Only when I compiled elogd under Sierra on the command line, the probelm occured.
That's why I did not see it earlier. It has to do with some functions Apple apparently changed ("strlcpy"). These function now have a new

I haven't found any reporterd issues in the forum similar yet, but it appears there is a bug in Elog when logging into logbooks. If I leave Username
and Password null and click Submit the daemon crashes. We've been having this problem off and on and after some verbose logging level 3 I was drawn

Ups. This bug must have lingered there since the beginning of time. Funny that nobody noticed in the last ten years or so. I have fixed it in the current
git revision.
